Stops include scenic viewpoints such as Mrs Macquarie's Chair. The second half starts at Rose Bay Marina, where you board a private catamaran for a 4-hour cruise around Sydney Harbour. The boat passes Double Bay, Elizabeth Bay, Fort Denison, Taronga Zoo, Middle Head, Balmoral, and Clontarf before finishing at Spit Marina. Your chauffeur then returns you to your hotel.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a comprehensive Sydney overview without navigating themselves—families, couples, and groups all work well. The full 8-hour day is long; factor in travel between car and boat. The catamaran is private, so no crowded public ferries. Infant seats and collapsible wheelchairs (with an accompanying helper) are catered for. Bottled water is provided; optional drinks and food cost extra and must be arranged in advance. Gratuities aren't included. Book at least two weeks prior. Public transport is available nearby if you need flexibility.
